	  	    CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT

I am delighted to annouce the following conference.  Apologies
if you get more than one copy of this;  but please circulate it
to interested parties who may have been missed by this once-off
mailshot.

	NATURAL AND BIOMIMETIC MECHANOSENSING CONFERENCE
	------------------------------------------------

Organized by the IST-FET Integrated Project CILIA (cilia-bionics.org)
which is funded by the European Comission, the Conference ‘Natural and
Biomimetic Mechanosensing’ (NBM) will be held in Dresden, Germany,
October 26-28 2009.  The conference is dedicated to the identification
of common principles underlying the widespread use in Nature of arrays
of mechano-sensory structures for the extraction of meaning from
environmental signals under adverse conditions. A second focus will be
on engineered systems derived from those principles.
